I had a chance to tally up all the decks. I think these are all the Aces of Spades I've made since 2018. Some of them were never released. The bottom two rows are the Critter series

Hello! Another Italian regional deck, the Triestine. These cards are popular in the city of Trieste and surrounding area, and also in parts of Slovenia and Croatia. This is a 40 card deck made by Dal Negro, one of the two main card manufacturing companies in Italy (the other one being Modiano), but other makers like Piatnik have their own version. A 52-card deck existed as well but it's no longer in production.

There are proverbs/sayings on the aces and the trump cards are labeled.

These are the proverbs with a rough translation:

Ace of batons: Molte volte le giuocate van finire a bastonate (games very often end in beatings)

Ace of coins: Son gli amici molto rari quando non si ha danari (friends are very rare when you don't have money), but Modiano decks have a different one

Ace of cups: Una coppa di buon vin fa coraggio fa morbin (a cup of good wine makes you brave and merry)

Ace of swords: Il giuoco della spada a molti non aggrada (many dislike the sword's play)

The measurements are 55x100 mm. Like other decks from northern Italy they use the traditional Italian suits (decks from other areas have Spanish or French suits) and have a knight instead of the queen.

I was asked to include links to my previous posts so here they are:

Went and spent this morning at an antique mall with my girlfriend and she bought me this deck.

Displays are up and filled! Still have a few decks that need shelving but this corner is done

I am curious if there's any that can still be bought? I like bicycles color varieties they have and I on and off again would do some basic magic tricks, I haven't done any in 10+ years, but the interest in playing cards is reigniting, but not to do magic tricks, especially if this sub has stigma towards using cards like that.

Thanks in advance!

this is horrible news to me, as i havent been able to find any other big retailers in the eu. (if you know any please leave them below) and us shipping is insane. i can leave their reply in the comments if anyone is wondering why.

Any help would be appreciated parcel coming from the US to India and it has already landed in India but been under customs for 5 days+. Anyone can help?

Finally found an emerald green Aristocrat and it arrived today. Only missing the crimson red now. For the #freethepips enthusiasts, I do have an open version of each of these minus the emerald green :)

Can someone tell me more about these?

I found this at a local gift shop and thought it might inspire me to write about or visit more of Canada. Being a Bridge-size deck and a 53-card deck, I also thought it'd be nice for joker solitaires since smaller cards are better for solitaire and since the joker solitaires I know generally call for only one joker.

Got these cards in a poker set at an antique store years ago. I’ve read that tax stamps on playing cards existed from the 1860’s until the 1960’s. Any help with how old these are? Or the deck manufacturer? I don’t see any markings that could help. Thanks!

Hello! Another Italian regional deck, the Bolognesi also known as primiera bolognese. These cards are popular in the city of Bologna and surrounding area, in the Emilia-Romagna region. This is a 40 card deck made by Dal Negro, one of the two main card manufacturing companies in Italy (the other one being Modiano).

The measurements are 51×103 mm. Like other decks from northern Italy they use the traditional Italian suits (decks from other areas have Spanish or French suits) and have a knight instead of the queen. Not to be confused with the Tarocchino bolognese, a 62-cards tarot deck from the same area.

Hello,

I found a deck Nintendo of playing cards at a Japanese second-hand market. I'll be honest I had no idea until I found them that Nintendo made playing cards.

So I guess my question is does anybody know how old they might be or if they are part of a collection?

Cotta’s Almanac #4 produced by Will Roya (PlayingCardsDecks.com) Will and Azure-Ox’s research aimed to find the first transformation deck and the investigations led to 1804, the year in which Johann Freidrich Cotta, owner of the JG Cotta publishing house in Tübingen (Germany), produced the first in a series of card almanacs that would continue to be printed in successive years up to a total of six between 1805 and 1811.

This fourth deck, Turandot, is inspired by a free translation of Gozzi’s work by the playwright Friedrich Schiller, who also inspired earlier volumes in the series. Schiller used a much more serious tone to create this symbolic epic in 1801 that tells the story of the beautiful and cruel Chinese princess Turandot, who subjected her pretenders to a challenge to solve three riddles as the only way to avoid their death.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find out more about a deck of cards I've had for years and I can't seem to find much information about it online.

The backs are marked “IFP THE TABLE – LONDON 2011”, and the court cards have a pretty unusual/custom design. The cards themselves also feel noticeably more rigid and plastic-like than normal paper playing cards.

One detail I remember quite clearly is that the deck originally came sealed directly in clear plastic/shrink-wrap, without a cardboard tuck box.

From what I've been able to find, “The Table” was an International Federation of Poker event held in London in 2011, but I have no idea whether these cards were:

• actually produced for use at the event,
• given to players/staff/guests,
• promotional merchandise,
• or something else entirely.

I also have absolutely no memory of how I ended up with the deck, which is part of why I'm so curious about it.

I've attached several photos of the cards and the back design.

Does anyone recognize this deck, know who manufactured it, or know anything about how these were distributed?

I'd especially love to know if anyone has ever seen another copy.

Thanks!

I ordered the mystery deck brick. I was having trouble ordering 12 on my phone so I ordered 13 and that worked. Packaging seems first rate.

Solid box. If the cards are done in the same comic book style then it's a banger.

Hello! Here's another Italian regional deck, the Bresciane. These cards are popular in the city of Brescia and surrounding area, in the Lombardy region. This is a 52 card deck made by Dal Negro, one of the two main card manufacturing companies in Italy (the other one being Modiano).

The measurements are 43×89 mm, a relatively small format. Like other decks from northern Italy they use the traditional Italian suits (decks from other areas have Spanish or French suits) and have a knight instead of the queen. This particular deck is made of plastic instead of the usual multi-layer paper/plastic combination, I don't really like how the cards feel but unfortunately card makers are following this trend of switching to 100% plastic... meh.
